Technical HAMB…or?

Reminded me of this:

 

The B is silent.

 

Every HAMBer I've talked to here in Oz refer to it as the Ham'B or say they are HAM'Bers, but having said that the only people who understand Australian are other Australians!

 

I go with HAMB because googling ham gets weird results.

 

I say HAMB with a B, to not be confused with HAM radio, because I'm into that shit too.

 

Don't ask me...
I thought we use skinny tires.

Sometimes I think the left HAMB doesn't know what the right HAMB is doing around here.

 

Just sayin !

 

LOL Pork. That's what the boss calls me and people talk about me all the time.

Short of a lesson in linguistics the B is not actually silent, but it is extremely soft. A linguist (I was around a few of the Wycliff translators for a few years) would say that you swallow the B. Yes it is pronounced but so soft that it is barely legible.

Now that I have tried really hard to sound intelligent. Just spit it out everyone will either know what you are talking about or they won't.

 

I don’t really emphasize the B. I just say “HAMB, on the jalopy journal”.

 

If Ebeneezer Scrooge, had been into hot rods back in the day, I am sure Dickens would have had him utter the word HAMB BUG !

 

The H is silent.
Hombre.

 

Hot rods
And
My
Buds

 

Honey Baked or Car Parts, you pick, but me I use the B. Again old men taking other old men to english class again, lets stay on old cars and car parts and leave the rest to Jr Colleges.

 

actually my post was linguistics not English. Probably a step above Jr College.

End of the day we say HAMB but the truth is that is it Hokey Assed Message Board. Slice it any way you like.

 

What I (everyone) wants to know is......is there any HAMB in Vegemite?
And why would someone put vegemite on a pizza!

 

The B in HAMB is silent like P in swimming. Ron

 

Me too. I thought the B was silent, like the P in bathtub.

.bjb

 

Vegemite goes on toast, and on kid's sammitches. Vegemite on pizza is just wrong.

Then again, we put pickled beetroot on burgers

Lookit that... a lesson on both linguistics and cuisine today. Never know what you will get on the HAMB.

Cheers,

Vegemite soup is good though.....

 

So now we have it wittled down to just "AM"........

 

there's a bathroom on the right

 

Yes, Vegemite on a pizza is wrong! But then again Cadbury brought out a block of chocolate with Vegemite in it some time ago. I did not last long at all!!
